Friday:
You are writing a SNAPSHOT moment of the grosses or most embarrassing moment of your life. (Be sure to check you +/- list) Please upload your rough draft onto the wiki. DUE MONDAY
Thursday: Finding your focus "Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. the sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus." ~Alexander Graham Bell
As author Ralph Fletcher describes in his book, How to Write Your Life Story, "If you're eleven years old you have already been alive for at least 4,017 days. Those days contain thousands of experiences.." Fantastic/furious friend moments, perfect/perfectly maddening parent pictures pop to mind, and a zillion other super/sad, silly, shout to the stars snapshot moments. So...how do you choose what to write about?
